Chapter: 1797
Go Shin-ok clamped his mouth shut.
He tried his best to appear nonchalant, but Pyo-wol didn�t miss the subtle tremor in the corners of Go Shin-ok�s eyes.
�That�s how the Kowloon Assassin Guild grew stronger. They would deploy their warriors in actual combat to enhance their skills. Furthermore, to fully build and develop the organization�s power, they would have needed the civil war to last for a long time. So they would stir up unrests and rebellions to prevent the war from ending. Perhaps the Phantom Fleet was also created for that same purpose. Traveling back and forth between the Central Plains and Western Regions, raiding and inciting chaos, looting and plundering goods, and transporting warriors. That�s how the Kowloon Assassin Guild grew their forces. �
����
Go Shin-ok�s pupils shook uncontrollably.
What Pyo-wol was saying was close to the truth.
At this point, there was no concrete evidence proving the existence of the Kowloon Assassin Guild. Whether it be the great masters and prominent figures of Jianghu, not one of them knows about the existence of the Kowloon Assassin Guild.�
Yet, based on a few pieces of circumstantial evidence, Pyo-wol managed to make deductions that were close to the truth.
It was terrifying for all the people watching.
Even at that moment, Pyo-wol�s words continued,
�Now the question is, why did they have to keep their existence a secret? If I had to guess, I�d say it�s because they haven�t reached their desired level of power yet. Perhaps they�ve learned a lesson from the downfall of the Demonic Cult and the Celestial Demon Union. Perhaps they realized that if their forces were exposed to Jianghu�s coordinated attacks, they would inevitably collapse. That�s why they strengthened and grew their power in the dark, hidden from people�s sight. Now, there�s only one thing I�m curious about. So who is it that created the Kowloon Assassin Guild, and for what purpose?�
Even if Pyo-wol was looking at Go Shin-ok, his words weren�t actually directed at him.�
Pyo-wol was only speaking to himself.
Ever since Jin Geum-woo�s death, he had repeatedly encountered the Kowloon Assassin Guild.�
It was a question that had been lingering in his mind since then. But, he always lacked information to unravel the mystery.�
The Kowloon Assassin Guild had always concealed its presence thoroughly where they would only leave fragmented pieces of information behind.
And with those fragmented pieces, Pyo-wol had to deduce the truth. But with so many missing pieces, it was impossible to draw the big picture.
To align countless fragmented pieces, Pyo-wol needed a key element. A piece that would seem like nothing to others, but to someone who�d been searching for it for a long time, it could be the key to a solution.
For Pyo-wol, Go Shin-ok was that piece.
Go Shin-ok didn�t provide a single clue to Pyo-wol. However, the mere existence of Go Shin-ok was the key to putting the pieces together.
The moment Pyo-wol saw Go Shin-ok, all the scattered pieces suddenly fell into place.
�Considering that the organization learned its lesson from the fall of the Demonic Cult and the Celestial Demon Union, and the fact that their power is not yet complete, it�s highly likely that the Kowloon Assassin Guild is only founded a few decades ago. In the meantime, they avoided Jianghu�s eyes and fostered turmoil in the Western Regions to build their strength in terms of resources and talent. Lee Yul is probably one of those individuals who were nurtured in such a way.�
Now, Pyo-wol understood why Lee Yul had the scent of someone from the military.
It�s because that was how and where he was made from the beginning.
An organization emphasizing rules and regulations.
Pyo-wol might not know who the founder of the Kowloon Assassin Guild is, but he was sure that that person is obsessed with the rules to the point of obsession.
They probably experienced a significant sense of loss due to the violation of rules and regulations.
Go Shin-ok�s eyebrows twitched.
He realized in hindsight what kind of state Pyo-wol was in.
He belatedly understood that Pyo-wol, through his own ingenuity, was gathering all the fragmented pieces of information to create a coherent narrative. JrNovels.com
